lol I hear ya on the fuel mileage, my old 79 chevy got maybe 12 mpg!

Ya keeping it close to stocks probably your best bet for reliability but sounds like you have a pretty solid plan. You'll be able to keep up with all your friends that's for sure! Still can believe you found a AWD for $400 sooooo jealous! I'd like to pnp the head on the eclipse but I have no clue how to do it or what I'd need.

yep haha. my dad has a 78 gmc and a 79 f250 and they both get around 10-12. but they do all the work thats for sure. plowing, hauling water, firewood, rock, dirt etc...

for porting and polishing i just smoothed out the short side radius, deshrouded the valves and partitioned the divider between the valves to a narrower edge.

doing that to a minimum on the 7m head netted me about 20cfm more flow on the intake and 15cfm on the exhaust. first time i ever did porting so i was happy.

i just used an electric die grinder and some dremel bits. a better setup would be a good air grinder or 1/4" electric. youll spend more money on the stuff, but itll go alot faster. add in the porting kit from standard abrasives (google standard abrasives) and thatll give you everything you need to do a full porting job.

anyway, i put some pics in my album of it. pretty stoked to pick this car up. im also pickin up a 93 mazda mx-3 with a v6 and 5 speed, 200 bux for that one and it runs great, just needs gaskets, has a steam release into one of the cylinders. i plan on fixing that one and selling it, or putting one of my extra eaton m62's on it for a fun lil hatchback.

im gettin the feeling im going a lil boost nuts...

haha I know what you mean, my truck did all of the work to. Was such a great truck plus good shape but hey ya gotta pay the bills!

thanx for the info man, I might just have to get a practice head to try first just to be sure I don't butch it. lol

Looked at your talon pick and all I gotta say is GREAT FIND!!! totally jealous for sure now. .........take it off your hands for $600??

jk definitely be a keeper in my books that's a clean 1G, plus a good find on the mazda could pay for a lot of parts!

87hilux7mge · 12-10-2011, 03:52 AM

yea, the big trick with porting is use some dykem (metal dye) or a sharpie, color your surface and score your gasket faces in so you match them up well. then just go slooooow. i only spent 12 hours porting on my 7m head, but i didnt enlarge the inlet ports at all or gasket match anything, i just cleaned up the shrouds, guides and short side radius.

standard abrasives actually has a pretty good walk through on their site if i recall.

haha, believe it or not, your not the only person thats made an offer on it. i had one for 800 and one for 1200 as she sits, but i wanna keep it now that i found one for such a good deal. and yea the mazda should pay for quite a few parts i hope. like i said, if it doesnt sell, im throwing a S/C on it and swapping around mafs and injectors, tossing on a SAFC2 and seeing what happens. possibly a KLZE swap after the supercharger heh heh

ill make sure to keep you updated with the talon on my end, you do the same man. also, on the 5m i wanna know whats goin on with it!

cheers.

hey just wondering if your joining the dsmtuners forums? great people there who can help you with any questions you do have.

87hilux7mge · 12-13-2011, 10:52 AM

i think i might (just what i need, more time online haha) ive been looking up a ton of info on there as it is. thing is, between the massive amounts of helpful stuff ive already found on there, and my freinds here that are dsm heads, idk if ill even need to haha.

i probably will just to show the car after i fix it. and just share my experience and learn a bit more too.

my freind also just told me hes got an 87 turbo supra he wants to sell me, its all complete besides the tranny (and i have another freind whos got one of those). he wants to sell it to me for 500 bux so...haha, ill wait on that a bit tho.

are you on dsmtuners?

CanadianBak'inSupra · 12-13-2011, 01:59 PM

je pistons and eagle rods are one hell of a good choice.
should make a pretty monster N/A build.

remember to shop around make sure your getting a good deal.

wow you get great deals, so wish I was in your shoes haha! I'm so far in debt it I'm struggling to get ahead. You definitely have more potential on your dsm then I do I have no one to "show me anything only tell me. Maybe you should quickly fix up the mazda sell it off and get the supra? seems like a solid deal and I don't doubt you really want one.
Ya I'm on there (buhay6), mostly in the Canadian forum/ newbie forums checking shit out. All so lots of funny stuff in the hangout forum 'n such.

One thing I don't like about gude.com is they don't show the prices but I guess its not hard to ask.
